After several days of feeding the cats separately, I have concluded pretty conclusively that Lucy is not interested in overeating for food's sake. She was clearly overeating so Zilli didn't get the food. She'll still charge in toward Zilli's food if she's near it when I set it down, but if I pick her up and take her into the other room and feed her, she eats a very moderate, even tiny, amount, and then is finished. Of course, she's on ordinary cat food now, instead of the easily digestible stuff that Zilli's on, so possibly she doesn't need as much of it to be satisfied, too. However, I'm quite sure the I Am The Alpha Cat thing weighs heavily in her, well, weighing heavily. Little bitch! :)

Zilli, on the other hand, is going to town on this whole having his own food thing. I suspect he may be getting /more/ food than he was before, although I'm weighing it out now and so I'm confident he's not getting more than he needs. He also has not vomited since I started feeding them separately. This is definitely a win. (In fact, concerned about him eating too much and puking, I took his food away halfway through the bowl a day or two ago, and he sat there for a moment, then went, "MOWWWL!" in utter misery. Apparently he wasn't done. I gave it back to him. O.O And he ate most of what was left, but he didn't puke. Yay!)

Just what you wanted this morning, a discourse on cat vomit. :)
